Burradoo is home to two independent, co-educational, secondary day schools: • Oxley College is built on the estate of Elvo, the former home of Septimus Alfred Stephen and later of Arthur Wigram Allen, and had its 25th anniversary in 2008. The school now has a primary schooling facility. • Chevalier College is built on the estate of Riversdale House, the former home of the descendants of Henry Osborne. It is a relatively rare example of the smaller scale domestic buildings of John Horbury Hunt in the Arts & Crafts style of Federation architecture and includes a house, ballroom and two chapels. While the school was originally a boys' boarding school in the 1970s, it has become a co-educational college including day students. In 2003 the boarding houses were shut and the college is now the largest in the Southern Highlands, and also the largest single employer in the Southern Highlands.
